Why crop your images?
Perfect Composition
Remove distracting backgrounds and focus on the subject to improve visual impact in photos, thumbnails and ads.
Platform Requirements
Many platforms (LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube) require specific aspect ratios. Cropping locks to those ratios in one click.
Privacy Control
Crop out sensitive information like addresses, faces, or personal data before sharing screenshots or documents.
How it works

Adjust Crop
Drag the handles to set the crop area. The rule-of-thirds grid helps with composition.

Frequently Asked Questions
What aspect ratios are supported?
Free, 1:1 (Square), 16:9, 4:3, 3:2, 2:3, and custom numeric ratio. The crop box enforces your choice.
Can I crop by entering pixel values?
Yes — the dimension badge updates live as you drag. Future update will add manual input fields.
What format does the export produce?
All crops are exported as PNG to preserve full quality with no additional compression.
Does the crop affect the original file?
No. Processing is non-destructive — the original image is never modified in your browser.
